2. Heavier or lighter Period
The irregularities of the menstrual cycles, such as the period arriving earlier or later than normal, can also be seen in periods that are heavy or light.
It is common for women to experience heavy bleeding during menopause. This is when they need to replace a pad, tampon, every two hours.
In the beginning of menopause it is possible that your periods will be lighter and shorter than normal.
In many cases, it is difficult to determine how long symptoms like these will last. Even your doctor cannot give you an exact timeframe. However, there are often treatments that can be used. Ask your doctor what you can do to reduce the severity of your symptoms at your next visit.
